From the yard

I actually like the dabbled light on the foreground but compositionally I feel I need to see a little more of the flowers. I've always been a fan of using the foreground to frame an image but it almost feels like the foreground and tree are accidental in this shot (I'm sure they're not by the way). I guess it leaves me feeling like you just didn't commit to using the elements completely. It's a fine shot as is.

Beautiful PP and BW conversion. I really like the textures and tones and the composition is spot on.

Very well done. I have to admit that I'd like to see more details about the shot and the PP though. From the clarity of the waves in the background I'd guess this wasn't a very long exposure which makes me wonder what the ambient light was really like?

Nice job with the edit. You improved the richness of the shot significantly.I think it could benefit from a little leveling of the horizon. I don't mean this as just a technical nitpick. I think the leveling would also help the angle of the dock. I feel that the leading line of the dock now is a bit off-balance.

Beautiful light and balance of colors captured and post processed. Great composition as well. One of my favorites of the month.

*Nit Pick Alert* I'm not so sure about the border on this one. The image stands so well on it's own that it's only a minor distraction. I like an equal border or even the cinematic top/bottom effect but the thin side border with the thicker top/bottom isn't working for me.

Very nice capture and pp. I like the deep contrast and excellent detail. Although the vignette is an excellent choice here I thinks it's a little too strong for me.

Hole of Horcum - last light

Beautiful light Sara!

Although they catch the light beautifully, the foreground trees aren't adding much to this shot for me. As my eye moves through the scene it seems to always end at the foreground instead of deeper into the shot. Then again maybe I just have my "crazy hat" on.

One of my favorites of the month so far. A sublime balance of reflections and the rocks below the surface.

*Nit Pick Alert* The top of the peak appears a bit too bright. It could just be my monitor but it looks like the higlights could be reduced a bit. A little rotating could help as well.

I think the lighting is interesting but compositionally I'm not sure what you were going for. What's the subject?
